Sugarcane Jane's Anthony Crawford knows the big-time. He was a long-time working musician for music legend Neil Young, but when it came to his own band, Sugarcane Jane, exposure was a little harder to come by.

But two appearances on the WSRE televised concert series "Studio Amped" gave Sugarcane Jane more exposure than they ever had previously on the Gulf Coast.

"It's really a great show, and it gave us a lot of exposure,'' said Crawford, who makes up the Loxley, Alabama-based Sugarcane Jane with his wife, Savana Lee Crawford. "Once we played the Flora-Bama and a guy noticed Savana and myself and said, 'I just saw you on TV last night.' It helps you reach a lot of people you might not reach otherwise."

Sugarcane Jane will make its third appearance on WSRE's "Studio Amped" on Oct. 17.

"This is a different experience than seeing these bands perform at local clubs,'' said Bill Harrell, "Studio Amped" executive producer. "They are recording an hour-long concert that will last forever online. It's a great opportunity to get their music heard, and they draw positive energy from the audience, which makes for a great show."

Harrell said many of the artists are on the verge of making it to a higher-level of mainstream appeal.

"Most of the bands are working on or releasing new albums,'' Harrell said. "We've got Johnny Hayes, who appeared on 'The Voice' this year. ... Two of our most popular groups from years past — Boukou Groove and Sugarcane Jane — are coming back to perform their brand new albums. "We'll also have an evening of gospel music featuring internationally known singer-songwriter Solomon Bozeman. This will be the first time we've had gospel music on the show."
